摘要

The apparatus for carrying out a minimally invasive diagnosis or intervention (1) in the interior of the body of a patient (7) with a in the body of the patient (7) and which can be introduced at least one medical instrument (17) which receives the capsule endoscope (8), comprising– at least one transmitting antenna is arranged outside the body (11, 11 '', 12, 12'', 13, 13 '') for emitting an electromagnetic radiation (14),– at least one receive antenna (19) in or on the capsule endoscope (8) for the reception of the electromagnetic radiation (14),– an evaluation unit (25, 29) for determining the actual position (ip) of the capsule by means of the endoscope (8) by the interaction of the transmitting antenna (11, 11 '', 12, 12'', 13, 13 '') with the receiving antenna (19) antenna signals generated, and– a communication unit (22) for communication with an outside of the body is supported on the side of the control unit (3),characterized in that the evaluation unit (25) is associated with the capsule endoscope and the communication unit (22) is set up by the evaluation unit (25) determined actual position (ip) to the control unit (3) to transmit, wherein the medical instrument (17) is arranged to determine measured data (b) and the evaluation unit (25, 29) is set up, the measurement data (b) with the actual position of the capsule is proportional to the endoscope, and wherein the measurement data is already at the location of the capsule endoscope (8) with the actual position (ip) are provided.
